[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1914607, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=304066]@dazzeur[/USER] Just a house keeping point - your profile states type 2 so you may want to change this so as to not confuse members, let me know if you need help doing it ? Generally when we have hypos we don't need assistance, they can be self treated and in most cases within 30-60 minutes you will be right as rain again. However hypos requiring assistance do happen, they are incredibly rare and depend on how well controlled you are, but if they do then your colleagues need to know that getting glucose (not chocolate) in you as quickly as possible is a priority, so sipping fruit juice, coke, lucozade will all help, unless of course that you become unconscious and then an ambulance will be required. It's unlikely it will happen if you have good hypo awareness. Just make sure that you have glucose, whether it's glucotabs or jelly babies on you at all times, including keeping them on your bedside for night time too, and let your colleagues know where your stash is kept too.
